Jon Hopkins - A Drifting Up

Track 9 from his fantastic new album "Insides"
This song was used in the 2 minute 36 second movie "Voxel"
It rather oddly reminds me of Mario Kart 64. Don't know why.
Enjoy!

If you were to compare this to, say, just walking along the street, it would be like something catching your attention in a shop window and you would just have to stop and stare.

Its a real shame that incredibly powerful, deep, original music such as this does not usually get aired over the radio waves, instead of the constant-for-the-masses-over-p­roduced-drivel regularly thrust upon us.

@tmmitzzie Hear, hear!

Every once in a while, a piece of music comes along that simply blows me away. It happened eighteen months ago when I discovered Monday Paracetamol by Ulrich Schnauss. Now this track, by Jon Hopkins has done the same. Every time I play it, I feel the hairs on the back of my neck stand up! anybody else get this? I feel the music does indeed 'drift up' as it goes along, and as it comes to an end it gently drifts back down ........ a stunning piece that lingers in the mind..

@tmmitzzie Radio is overrated

Thumbs up if SomaFM got you into Hopkins. I still remember when I have first heard Cerulean ... /shivers. Luckily I grabbed all the discs on cdbaby.

@meagbell You don't know anyone named Jon Hopkins!

I picture a holy figure drifting from the skies and down to the earth with the good intention of bringing the light of the gods to the world, but the light is too bright and it burns the world away to ashes.
